Google Glass Explorer is $1,500 if you can qualify

Google put out a video Wednesday, showing how its wearable headset computer Glass can be used in a variety of settings.

The headset computer is shown snapping pictures and videos while evidently fit and active users are performing gymnastic routines, parachuting, and engaging in martial arts, all to a relentlessly upbeat, if tinny, soundtrack.

The device is also shown providing translations and performing web searches.
